The Classic Auto Horizon features a round case made from stainless steel with a diameter of 40 mm, enclosing the LF 270.01 self-winding movement with micro-rotor.  The “Auto” calibre underscores the shared heritage between the dynamism of the motor racing world and the elegance of more classic automatic watches. The dial is composed of a fine layer of translucent blue lacquer applied to a base treated with a silver galvanic coating with a vertical satin-brushed finish in the center. The minute track, with its circular satin-brushed finishing framing the dial, is the embodiment of reliability.

The piece features the visual signature of the Sport and Classic Auto models: the stamped aperture with bold lines that slope towards the date transfered in slate grey on a white disc. The aperture is framed by a fine dark blue transfer. The dial is marked by a matching cross in the centre with Assegai spear hands, made from stamped white gold and white gold drop-shaped indices. Small seconds, at 6 o’clock, is snailed and punctuated with dark blue markers and a baton-shaped hand, also in white gold. 

Calibre LF270.01 has been designed, decorated, assembled and adjusted entirely in the LAURENT FERRIER workshops. It features a Swiss lever escapement and uses an automatic winding system with an off-centre micro-weight. To improve its resistance to impacts and vibration, this movement is fitted with a unidirectional ball bearing. Like a balance wheel, the micro-rotor is equipped with an oscillating weight in 950 platinum, positioned directly between the main plate and the rotor bridge to give optimum stability and maximum winding power, with a new engraved motif evoking the feathers of a bird to complement the beak shape of the automatic bridge. The engraved feathers are accompanied by chevrons indicating the winding direction. Fully wound, this calibre offers a power reserve of more than 72 hours.
